Windy day in Honolulu Looking out beyond the hills Memories and times of heartache Leis of lilies, daffodils Here I lighted like a bird Upon the bright blue water's shore With my hope and with my nightmares Praying I could swim and soar Dark dreams, haunted sunlit days While I drank down rum and hope Burning dreams and crimson lovers Dancing on a thin tightrope Spellbound, spellbound, spellbound Birds of paradise were walking As though they were angels' songs Bright wings flew along the beaches In their shimmering sarongs And I thought when I would see them So content and so serene How could I find that surrender? I could fly but I would scream Letras de cancionesFighting out of beauty's trance In the light of sand and water Knowing I would crawl the highways Finding my own kind of slaughter Spellbound, spellbound, spellbound How I longed to sing the day Doing what I saw you do How you lived and danced in light Yearning to know what life knew Whittled down, the drinking gone To whimper towards the sight of land Hungering to sail in water Bright with promise, deep in sand In these islands once I wept For the lost and for the found Surfacing in air and light Now I live, and I am spellbound Spellbound, spellbound, spellbound Spellbound, spellbound, spellbound From Letras Mania
